Again, the old business is based on money, so they give us £2000 to upgrade our cars,
00:07
but my main concern is if it's about the polluting of the air, why are we still allowed to pollute
00:13
the air provided we pay £12.50? Surely if it's about protecting us, it should be that
00:18
come the 29th of August, no one should be allowed to drive polluting vehicles, because
00:23
it's about protecting us. But no, it's more about taking a revenue to let us do it. So
00:28
if we pay £12.50, then we can carry on polluting the air. Surely it should be, no, there's
00:33
no pollution at all, we take away every vehicle that's doing it, you can't drive it, period.
00:40
It's not the most promising scheme for people, it's not going to make me want to sell my
00:48
car, you know what I'm saying? It don't work for everybody, some people are.
00:54
To be honest with you, a lot of my friends are now having to sell their cars and quite
01:02
possibly might not be able to afford to buy a new car, which puts them in a situation
01:07
of getting the kids to school. My friend was in tears over the phone over the weekend about
01:14
it, her car actually has to be scrapped and she doesn't know whether she's actually going
01:19
to be able to find the finance and the funds and get a car back in time for school time.
01:24
Well if you had a car, yes, I presume so. Again, you see, I don't have a car, so, I'm
01:33
sure I could put it to good use for something else, a better bicycle or something like that.
01:38
I think it's rubbish what he's doing. He would lose my vote, because how can you scrap someone's
01:46
car that's worth 7,000 for 2,000? And how do you know that the person's got better credit
01:52
now with all the inflation that's going on? How can they afford to replace something that
01:57
takes them from A to B, namely work? Most people who have a car that isn't, you know,
02:04
is cost effective and maybe, they're the people that are running the country, the nurses,
02:08
the teachers, the doctors, we've all got those types of cars and he wants to give us two
02:13
grand for an 11 grand car. Come on, it's rubbish.
